Why are power sector stocks up today?
India has seen elevated electricity demand in recent weeks due to rising temperatures. Peak power demand reached record levels in April 2026, crossing 252 GW on April 24 and touching over 256 GW on April 25, driven by higher usage of cooling appliances amid heatwave conditions.
Earlier data from March 2026 showed strong evening peak demand, with coal-based plants operating at high utilisation rates during non-solar hours to meet the gap after solar generation declines. This pattern highlights the ongoing need for reliable baseload and flexible power capacity.
